Acts 10:3-6 An angel comes to Cornelius

Hello Friends, neighbors, and countrymen. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

  Now Cornelius is a godly man, fearful of GOD. He has a vision - an angel coming to him - Acts 10: ³ He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.

  The ninth hour is about 3 p.m. and I find it interesting that Jesus cried out “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani? at the ninth hour or 3 p.m.  Does this have significance?  I am not sure; if you know or find out please let me know.

  Cornelius sees an angel of God - and yes, he is afraid at first.  Acts 10: ⁴ And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

   Cornelius is now told that his prayers and alms (helping others) are looked upon favorably by GOD.  I think about this and wonder if my alms are pleasing to GOD, or, if he views what I do just going through a ritual. I pray daily that I will do GOD's will.

  At this point Cornelius is given a command to send someone to fetch Peter.  Acts 10: ⁵ And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:

  So, does Cornelius do this?  Of course he does as he is a man of GOD and obedient.  But, where would I find this man in Joppa?  The angel is not through speaking yet.  Acts 10:  He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

  Now he will be able to find Simon who is called Peter (The Rock).  So he sends a messenger to find Peter.  We will see what happens next.  See you tomorrow.

Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
